Instructions
- Rinse the herring fillets and cut off the dorsal fin. Salt and pepper.
- Whisk egg, cream and parsley in a bowl. Add the fillets one by one and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cauli mash. Cut the cauliflower into florets, then roughly chop into pieces. Boil in lightly salted water until tender. Discard the water, add butter and blend with an immersion blender. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle almond flour in a deep plate. Bread the herring fillets one by one. You can also skip the breading completely, it will be super tasty either way.
- Fry the fillets in butter on medium high heat, 2-3 minutes on each side. Lower the temperature towards the end so the almond flour doesn't get burnt.
- Melt butter on medium heat in a skillet until amber-colored. Allow to rest for a minute so the milk proteins end up on the bottom of the skillet. You should skip that when serving.
- Serve the fried herring with browned butter and cauliflower mash. Add some lingonberries too, if you like!
The lignonberries are optional and you can use any fish you prefer if you can't get herring. As Diet Doctor is located in Sweden, we enjoy sharing local traditional favorites when we can.
The herring is not pre-salted. Step 1 indicates to add salt and pepper seasoning.
